Upcoming and Recent Events
Over the past few years, Chicago For Abortion Rights (CFAR) has organized most of the large abortion rights protests in Chicago.
We come together to rally and march because we cannot depend on politicians and voting alone to keep our rights safe. We must also rely on our collective power to ensure our voices are heard by taking to the streets.
Join us at our next event. Bring your green, your signs, your friends!
Save the Date! March on the DNC as Bodies Outside of Unjust Laws
On the eve of the Democratic National Convention activists with Bodies Outside Unjust Laws: Coalition for Reproductive Justice & LGBTQ+ Liberation are marching for full Reproductive Justice! Mark your calendars and join this march for bodily autonomy and a caring economy for all.
The Supreme Court is Attacking Us - Again!
On Tuesday, March 26th, the Supreme Court will be hearing oral arguments on a case brought by the anti-women, anti-LGBTQ+ “Alliance Defending Freedom,” the same far-right outfit* behind an avalanche of other bigoted legislation and court decisions. Please join us at 12 noon on March 26 in front of the U.S. Federal Courthouse, 219 S. Dearborn, Chicago.
Only WE must control our bodies – not bigoted judges and politicians!
Women of the World Unite!
This International Women’s Day, we’re uniting to raise our demands on the federal government. From defending LGBTQ & Reproductive Rights to ending the occupation of Palestine, mass incarceration, U.S. intervention in the Philippines, the criminalization of immigrants, exploitation and discrimination in the workplace, the DNC has failed to deliver.
International Women's Day in Chicago

Chicago Ceasefire Resolution Phone Bank
Join us at your lunch hour on 12/11 to call (literally!! ☎️) for a permanent #CeasefireNow 🗣️ Over the last two months, over 15,000 Palestinian civilians have been killed – and hundreds of thousands injured or displaced – by an indiscriminate bombing campaign launched by Israel, with financial and political support by the United States. Our own city of Chicago signed a resolution declaring unconditional support of Israel in October – which makes it all the more important that we urge our alderpeople and city officials to support Ald. Rodriguez Sanchez's #CeasefireNow resolution & join cities across the country in urging for an end to this genocide. Let's make our voices heard!

"Straights only"?! Protest Supreme Court promotion of anti-LGBTQ discrimination!
Flying under the radar is another Supreme Court case that threatens to turn the tide against the LGBTQ civil rights progress won over the past two decades – 303 Creative LLC v. Elenis. This case, if the Court's right wing majority has its way, will permit "Straights only" – the banning of LGBTQs in places of public accommodation.
On Monday, December 5th, the Supreme Court will hear oral arguments by both pro- and anti-LGBTQ attorneys. We intend to use that occasion to raise public awareness about the dangers of this case and others with a 12 noon protest / press conference on that day.
Please join us to protest this attack on all of our rights!
